Did any of you guys make it out to Record Store Day? Anyone luck out incredibly and score one of the five test-pressing editions of the Big Star LP? Those things are so ridiculously expensive on eBay! This week's Photo Pit, shot by Robert Loerzel, captures the RSD scene at a few Chicago music retailers—it's a pretty great look at the holiday in all its vinyl-crazed glory.

That last show might be especially nuts. "The Mutiny is gonna be a smoldering crater come Saturday," says Warwick, and considering the rest of the lineup (the Chicago Thrash Ensemble, Fuck the Facts, Bongripper) as well as the venue's notoriously craziness-inducing "mini-pitchers" (or, if you look at it the other way, "ridiculously huge beer mugs"), he could turn out to be right.
